Graphics card update for windows 7 problem

Hi, I have a 24" iMac 2008 it requires a graphics card upgrade for installing windows 7 i have 10.7 lion running, but it says on checking available disks that it cannot be installed on this disk as it requires 10.6  any ideas the update says 10.6 or later

The only thing I can think of is maybe Apple doesn't have a Lion compatible Firmware installer?
If nobody else hops in here with another idea then the only thing I can think of is to get an external HD and install 10.6 back on to it and boot from there and give it ago. If anything you now have a back up disk?
Maybe try the iMac forums to see how they did it. Just mention you were here already.
But you MAY have to swap the drives as the firmware installer might not work via booted from an external drive, just the nature of the beast.

  • Satellite L655-19H - Need graphic card driver for Windows 8

    Hello!
    I have a problem with VGA drivers on my L655-19H in Windows 8. Last drivers on Toshiba site only for windows 7 and don't work with my W8.
    I instal drivers manually, but some games tell me "bad video card drivers". Microsoft drivers dont work too.
    Sry for my english.

    As Silas wrote, the Win 8 system isnt supported for this notebook model.
    I found on Toshiba page an Win 8 supported model matrix and this series isnt listed.
    This means that Win 8 drivers will not be available.
    If you need Win 8 graphic drivers, you will need to search at your own hand on some 3rd party websites like omegadrivers.net or similar.
    As Im not mistaken the notebook uses the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650 graphic chip.

  • PPC Quad G5 Graphic Card Update from 6600

    Hi,
    I just got a new EOS 40D, and am wondering if anyone has any info whether Apple will provide graphics card updates for Quad PPC G5 users who have the 6600?
    Is this something they will be doing, ever?

    you mean the PCI-E G5? If so, then it appears that Apple is completely deaf to the thousands of customers that purchased a machine less than a year ago. As of now, there's no way of getting a video card upgrade (short of paying 4 times the retail value for one over at welovemacs.com). If I would have known that this is the level of support that I would have been getting, then I would have waited the extra 6-8 weeks for the 7800GT. fill out a feedback form, and hopefully they'll get the hint:

    Hi K,
    Thank you for you reply and sorry if the information was a bit too truncated. well here goes.
    I am using a MacBook Pro (3.1) 17 inch, 2.4GHz processor, 2 GB ram. I edit video using Final Cut Studio 2. i am having a problem with Final Cut Pro 6 after downloading the latest update (6.0.3). Before I downloaded the update I used to be able to export my movies on the Quicktime option of FCP (not compressor or Quicktime conversion) giving me the option to view the the movie while in an FCP Project. The viewer used to scale the exported video to 16.9 (720 by 576 anamorphic), it no longer does this, instead playing it in 4.3. I have tried exporting both from the time line and the canvas but the viewer will only preview in 4.3. As I want to see it in 16.9 because that is what the movie was made in, captured and edited in. The original settings have not changed but there seems to be this annoying problem.
    I hope that is enough detail

  • Graphics Firmware update for iMac with with NVIDIA GeForce 7300 or 7600 GT

    I am one of the many with an 06 24" iMac that has the graphics card glitch. Downloaded and installed this firmware update today and worked all day with no issues. The update says it is for users that are running Windows 7 in boot camp.
    Is this coincidental and the firmware fixed the issue so many of us have with these iMacs with the NVIDIA cards or did I just jinx myself and my problems are bound to return?
    Guess I will know soon enough!
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL978

    I've seen all sorts graphics problems mentioned. Apple sells millions of Macs per years, so any potential problem is bound to happen to at least a few customers. Assuming that people can read your mind is not a very good way to get responses.
    On the other hand, if you describe the problem in detail, people reading the forum and looking for solutions may actually find your post through a keywords search, and your finding about installing the firmware update for Windows 7 may help then too, after confirming their problem is similar to your problem.
    But that's up to you...

    Now what should i do?
    Where can i find the proper sound card driver fot my HP? Please help

    Hello,
    Since you downgrade your laptop to xp, drivers are not installed properly, if you check on our website and choosed xp for the operating system, driver are limited, I suggest to return computer to its original factory condition, might wanna consider ordering the recovery disc if you did not create one
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?product=4125779&lc=en&cc=ca&dlc=en&lc=en&lang=en...
    Your sound driver is IDT high definition audio and not a Conexant, Using the driver for Conexant would not work
    If problem is still there, pls inform me

  • Compaq Presario SR2129UK bios update for windows 8 pro 32bit

    Hi all.
    I have recently upgraded my operating system from Windows 7 pro to Windows 8 pro. I have alos changed the CPU to a pentium D, The power supply and the graphics card but I am having from with my SD ram and temperature displays.
    I want to upgrade my bios if possible due to all the upgrades, when I looked in this site it doesn't mention windows 8 operating system with my PC? My system info is below.
    Compaq Presario SR2129UK bios update for windows 8 pro 32bit.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi:
    The only BIOS update for your model is for Windows Vista (v5.23).
    There aren't any newer BIOS releases than that one.
    You would need to be running Windows Vista in order to update the BIOS, or you would run a better than 99% chance of completely wrecking your PC.

  • P6310y Graphics Card Update - What I bought as an upgrade

    p6310y Graphics Card Update
    Hi Everyone!
    I wanted to give back to the community on this one since I got such great support when I asked.  I am a casual gamer, and do a little video work from time to time.  Byeond that, this PC is used for web surfing, email, documents, etc.      I was considering upgrading my graphcs card, which I had already upgraded to the  XFX ATI 4350 1GB several years ago.   When I posted the question, Big Dave was especially helpful and suggested that I look at the MSI nVidia N750 TI or TF.   They both looked like great choices, but were both north of $100 which I had set as a limit.  ( At some point, you just have to consider upgrading the desktop )   I went to my local Tiger Direct and found what has turned out to be a great solution!  I bought a Zotac nVidia GeForce GT 730 2 GB. ( Zotac GT730 LP 2GB 64 bit DDR3 )    I used the FireStorm software ( included with the card ) to overclock it just a little, and it has turned out to be great!   It was about $75, and has allowed me to play World of Tanks with much higher settings while maintaining good FPS ( frames per second ).  
    I hope that helps some of you that are still using this quite capable desktop if you are looking for an upgrade.  

    @Big_Dave 
    Here is one for you!

    Hi mcclausky, you may need to manually remove a policy setting from the registry. You also should scan for malware that might have created this problem.
    This article lists scanning and cleaning tools other Firefox users have found helpful: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]].
    To check your Windows registry for policy settings that might affect Firefox or other programs, I suggest consulting a Windows forum or Microsoft's forums. For example:

  • Update for Windows 7 (32-bit) (KB2952664) FAILED

    Error Code: 80242016
    During my Windows update I received the above error message while attempting the Update for Windows 7 (KB2952664). 
    I ran the Fixit program that was offered to me in the Help. I was not really able to identify what the exact cause of the problem is in the help however. It is not installing the update when I rerun Windows Update. Any help with this is appreciated. Thanks.

    Thanks toondog, I went to:
    Control Panel > Programs > Programs and Features > View installed updates
    in Windows 7 x64, found the failed update in the "Microsoft Windows" category (it's easier to find if you order updates by descending date) then right-click and Uninstall. It appeared to uninstall because the entry disappeared, however when I refreshed
    it the entry came back. Then I went to Windows Update and it found the update and I reinstalled and this time it was successful.
    It's even easier to find if you enter KB2952664 in the "Search Installed Updates" box in the upper right corner of the Installed Updates window.
    This is the only way that worked for me, although I had to do a Restart after uninstalling the update before Windows Update would let me try it again.
    Toondog85's way—going through Windows Update instead of Programs and Features—didn't give me the option of uninstalling the update, but it was still basically the right solution to the problem.
